Description:
Life was never meant to be boring. Neither was your dinner table. Toss aside the white linen and go lime green tablecloth, white plates, and black napkins for an exotic backdrop to the deep red of our 2005 Sonoma County Zinfandel. Ask your neighbor if you can cut a few stalks of that pesky bamboo she’s got growing along the fence. Select young shoots and strip the fronds. Add polished black rocks to cover the bottom of a simple glass vase and fill with water, arranging the bamboo to create a casual centerpiece. A goldfish is optional. Now: What are you going to serve for dinner? Our 2005 Sonoma County Zinfandel is a vigorous, jammy wine loaded with aromas of ripe raspberries, caramel, and Indian spices that prepare your palate for the distinct flavors of white pepper, crushed raspberries, and leather. On the finish, you’ll experience a burst of currants and hints of vanilla. The fruitiness, peppery zest, rounded tannins, and natural acidity of this wine make it the perfect companion to bold, slightly spicy Thai or Asian-fusion dishes. One of our favorite meals is beef stir-fried with spicy ginger and snap peas served with basil-sesame noodles. For dessert, try Thai rice pudding flavored with coconut milk, brown sugar, and nutmeg.
Boring? You? Never.
